I have tried prying, pulling, & beating on the driveshaft to free the bearing from the bearing housing/motor support. What is the easiest way to get the bearing/motor support off the motor mount insulator? I have gotten the bolts out of the support & the nut off the insulator. I have taken the nuts off the insulator bolts also.
I have gotten this far & don't want to do a half shaft replacement yet.

Jack up both sides of the car. You won't be able to remove the axle with one side up and the other down. Remove the wheel.
Remove the brake caliper and rotor if it's a free floating rotor. If not remove the caliper and the caliper arm it bolts onto. Remove the Axle nut. Remove the outer tie rod from the steering knuckle. Pull out on the bottom of the steering knuckle to slide it out far enough to get the axle to separate from the wheel assembly. Remove the Cv axle from trans mission. Get a seal puller and remove bearing seal. Then remove the bearings.
The way you described the question this should be the Way. But these are not wheel bearings. The wheel bearing are in the steering knuckle or the hub. So you need to decide if you asked the question right and I gave you the correct answer. If your removing wheel bearings you need to do every thing I just said except removing the axle Then remove the wheel bearings by removing the nut from the axle remove the washer and front bearing put the nut back on a few turns and pull out hard on the rotor so the rear bearings slap on the nut pulling the bearing and seal out together, out the back of the rotor.
It depends on whether you want to remove the wheel bearings or the axle bearings in the tranny. But this method I just wrote will work for which ever bearing your trying to replace. You decide and do the procedure for that bearing that I described
